In the first course, we learned several simple shapes that work as standard building blocks for peaceful situations: making territory, building moyos, attacking, and defending.
Now it’s time to take our understanding of shape to the next level. Go is a two-player game, and sooner or later, Black and White will collide. These conflicts are also governed by shape — one wrong extension, careless atari, or missed vital point can quickly decide the game.
In this course, we’ll explore how stones develop, connect, cut, and fight. We’ll build a practical vocabulary of Go shapes, learn to use walls effectively, study good and bad exchanges, and discover the shapes that emerge in all kinds of fighting scenarios.
Suitable for: 13k – 4k who already watched Go Shapes: Level 1

Log in to write a reviewWe publish all reviews; the coins for a review never depend on its rating. How reviews work
- To write a review, a learner must be enrolled in the course and have completed at least one lesson or topic. Earlier reviews needed enrolment only.
- We publish every review at once, whatever its rating, and remove only spam, insults and personal data.
- One review per course; its author can edit or delete it at any time.
- A learner gets 20 coins (the site's points) once per course, for a review with at least 30 characters of text, whatever the rating.
- The average is the plain mean of all ratings. Reviews in your language come first, then those other learners marked helpful (marks on newer reviews count for more), then those with text, newest first.
- Next to newer reviews we show the author's estimated rank on the site and how much of the course they had completed when they last wrote or edited the review.
- The course's teachers and our team may reply to a review publicly.
- To report a review, write to [email protected].
